Chapter 427 Picking a Young Immortal as a Fiancé (23)
On the other side, the young man and girl, still with pink bubbles in their eyes, had automatically blocked out the noisy shouts.
Wen Xing did not dare to look at the girl he was holding hands with. He was embarrassed and flustered, and stammered a few times: "Yaoyao, don't look at me like that..."
The overly passionate gaze seemed to melt him.
Bai Yao got close to him, deliberately looking up at him. She turned her face to the direction he turned his face. She enjoyed this childish game. "I think my fiancé is legal."
Yes, they were an engaged couple and had not yet married. She could easily tease him to the point of being defeated. After marriage, her methods would be upgraded...
I don't know what he thought of, but Wen Xingbai's jade-like face flushed. Hearing her teasing, he stretched out his hands and covered her eyes in embarrassment.
At the same time, with Lu Cha's scream, the world fell into darkness again.
This time, they heard the sound of "tick-tick-tick".
The candlelight on the stone wall flickered, and the air was filled with an uncomfortable humidity. This was a dimly lit cave.
In the center of the cave stood a special cage made of black iron. Without the key, even a great immortal would be helpless.
A masked man wearing a hat stood outside the cage, quietly looking at the imprisoned creature inside.
It was a creature that barely had a human form, with a long tail curled together and a hard flesh thorn on the tip of the tail. It should have been as white as jade, but it was dirty because of the stains on the ground. It lay on the ground, naked, with its white hair condensed into strands scattered on the ground. There were blue patterns on its neck and back, delicate and beautiful.
It was silent, and no one knew if it was dead.
One of its arms stretched out from the gap in the cage and rested in the water on the ground. The blue blood that kept flowing from its wrist flowed along the water to an unknown distance. Wherever the water that melted its blood passed, flowers and plants with vigorous vitality grew.
Any cultivator could see that his body was full of endless spiritual power, which was irrigating the earth with the water, making every solid piece of land rich in spiritual power for cultivators to cultivate.
The man in the fighting hat seemed to be very satisfied with this situation. Even if the person in the cage was about to bleed to death, he didn't care.
The person in the cage moved slightly and uttered a weak voice with difficulty: "Father... I don't want to die."
Bai Yao's eyes were still covered. When she suddenly heard this voice, she was stunned for a moment, and then she tried desperately to pull off Wen Xing's hand covering her eyes, but failed.
The man in the Dou Li said in a deep voice: "You are my son. You should know clearly what responsibilities you need to bear for the cultivation world."
He added: "Have you forgotten what I taught you? This world is full of demons. If the cultivators do not have enough spiritual power to practice, the righteous path will decline, the world will be in chaos, and the human race will have no place to stand. I can sacrifice everything for the peace of the three realms. As my son, you should have this awareness. Being greedy for life and afraid of death is the behavior of a coward!"
The man in the cage did not speak again, as if he knew that he could not be a coward, or perhaps he had no strength to speak.
Bao Longtao looked at the scene in front of him with a panicked look. When he fell into darkness before, the tearing sound from Lu Cha seemed to still stimulate his eardrums.
Ming Nuannuan looked at the figure in the cage, "What on earth is that?"
Qin Yan remembered the "Three Realms Demons and Demons Illustrated Book" that the old man showed him a long time ago. He remembered something and said uncertainly: "Is this... a Jiao?"
"No, that's not right." Qin Yan shook his head and said: "How could a Jiao have a human father?"
Qin Yan called the old man in the jade pendant, "What's going on?"
But unexpectedly, the old man who usually talks a lot did not respond.
Not long after, the man in the Dou Li walked out of the cave, letting the person in the cage bleed all the blood in his body bit by bit.
After a while, a bearded man walked into the cave carefully.
That was Bao Longtao three hundred years ago.
They looked at Bao Longtao, whose face was now pale. Three hundred years had passed, and he really hadn't changed at all.
Bao Longtao followed the Dou Li man to the entrance of the cave. His intuition told him that the Dou Li man must have a secret. He waited until the Dou Li man left before he bravely walked in to find out.
The moment he walked in, he was shocked by the strong spiritual power and stopped in his tracks. "If I can practice here, it won't take long for me to achieve great success!"
His voice startled the people in the cage.
The pale figure used all his strength to raise his hands towards the figure outside, "Please...save me..."
Even though his father told him that he should sacrifice himself for the people of the world, he would still be afraid when he really died.
Bao Longtao was startled, and after realizing that the person in the cage was not in danger, he approached carefully.
The imprisoned person had long hair and his face could not be seen clearly, but his upper body was still in human form, and his lower body from the tail was covered with scars. Blood was constantly oozing from the wounds of various sizes, and the pits and blood holes suggested that his flesh and blood had been dug out.
Bao Longtao was terrified. He had never seen such a bloody way of torturing people!
He took a step forward and stretched out his hand to try to open the cage, but he soon stopped.
Every wound of the person imprisoned in it was emitting spiritual power that could not be matched by countless elixirs, and he had so many wounds on his body, it was obvious that someone regarded him as an inexhaustible "tonic".
Since others can do it, why can't he? When
the onlookers saw Bao Longtao take out the dagger three hundred years ago, they immediately understood what he was going to do.
Bao Longtao explained himself helplessly, "I was just possessed by a ghost for a moment! You are all geniuses in cultivation, you don't understand the fear of a small cultivator like me facing the end of my life. I just want to live, is there anything wrong with that?"
He believed that not only him, but anyone in his position would choose to do so. People are inherently selfish, and he just did what a normal person would do!
Lu Cha died in the village where he massacred people. Bao Longtao was now in a cave. He was extremely panicked, worried that he would be the next to die. He looked at everyone anxiously and said, "You are all disciples of famous and upright sects. You will definitely not stand by and watch others die when you see them in trouble, right?"
The jade pendant on Qin Yan's waist suddenly became hot. He was confused when he heard the sound of the void breaking. The surrounding environment changed in the blink of an eye. Everyone was unstable. Wen Xing accidentally bumped into Qin Yan. In the blink of an eye, they were back in the courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion.
City Lord You Bing retracted his sword, coughed a few times, and asked with concern: "Are you all okay?"
They walked out of the Heart Devouring Demon's territory!
Bao Longtao breathed a sigh of relief, and then he realized that he was sweating coldly.
Qin Yan moved a few steps away from Ming Nuannuan. Since he was safe, there was no need for him to stand so close to her.
Ming Nuannuan's face showed a wounded look, and her beautiful face was pitiful.
Wen Xing put down the hand that had been covering Bai Yao's. Bai Yao regained her sight. She raised her eyes and wanted to say something, but after meeting his gentle gaze, she swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth.
You Bing asked: "What's going on? Did the Heart-Eating Demon really appear?"
Bao Longtao immediately replied, "Yes! There is indeed a Heart-Eating Demon. His methods of harming people are hard to guard against. Jia Yi and Lu Cha both died at the hands of the Heart-Eating Demon!" You Bing
should have been sure that the Heart-Eating Demon existed, but when she heard Bao Longtao say so confidently that the Heart-Eating Demon existed, she frowned again, as if she felt something was wrong.
Bai Yao looked at a masked man standing behind You Bing and asked, "Who is this?"
You Bing introduced, "This is a new alien in our mansion. It was he who taught me how to save you."
The man was wearing a mask and his voice was very dull, "What did you see in there?"
Wen Xing replied, "The appearance of the Heart Devouring Demon made us see the massacre eighteen years ago, and the story of someone imprisoning a dragon in the cave three hundred years ago."
Everyone saw what kind of person Wen Xing was, and what he said must be true.
"Is there really a Heart Devouring Demon?" You Bing repeated it uncertainly, and took another look at the masked man behind him.
Bao Longtao pointed behind the masked man and shouted, "The Heart Devouring Demon, the Heart Devouring Demon appears again!"
Everyone looked over immediately and saw a black shadow appear and disappear, and the fear in their hearts surged again.
The masked man drew out his sword and was about to fight back when he heard the sound of a jade pendant breaking. He froze and lost control of the sword in his hand. The tip of the sword hit the ground and he held on to the sword to avoid falling to the ground.
Qin Yan yelled, "Old man!"
It turned out that his jade pendant had fallen to the ground at some point. This jade pendant, which could withstand his knocks, was now broken into pieces.
Qin Yan heard the old man's painful cry. In the blink of an eye, as the light in the broken jade pendant faded, there was no sound.
The old man in the jade pendant had been with Qin Yan for so many years. He had long been both a teacher and a father to him. The old man suddenly disappeared. Qin Yan held the broken jade pendant and was overwhelmed with sadness and pain.
The black mist spread and the servant holding the lamp suddenly fainted on the ground and lost consciousness.
You Bing smelled a wisp of black mist, he covered his chest and coughed violently, suddenly spitting out a mouthful of blood, his black hair turned white, his skin was wrinkled, his back was hunched, and he suddenly aged several decades.
Seeing the dark shadow appear in front of the masked man, Bao Longtao realized that the situation was not good, he turned around and wanted to run, but a fire snake suddenly rose into the air and blocked his way.
Bai Yao walked slowly behind the fire snake, and gently lifted a strand of long hair in front of her chest with one hand. She was really like a playful little girl without any scheming. She smiled and said: "The show is not over yet, why are you in a hurry to leave?"
The young man in white stood silently beside the girl, exuding an inexplicable aura. However, when the girl held the hand with the bracelet hanging by his side, his eyes flickered slightly.
Bai Yao raised her face and stuffed a candy into his mouth. She curled the corners of her lips and smiled brilliantly.
